12 Days Of Fitness – Exercise #7 – SHOULDER PRESS

The shoulder press can be done with any implement. I have pictures of a thick band and a set of kettlebells. The way I teach this now is different from years ago. I am most concerned now with bone stacking.

Think about taking your humerus (bone from the elbow to the shoulder) and “stacking” it on top of the shoulder the most efficient way possible. Be aware of elbows flaring out during the movement. Focus on the rhythm of the elbow and shoulder working together and the contraction of the lats (the back area around the shoulder blades) as you lower the weight.
